[SOLVED] How to add a contact with javascript ?

barmeier

Hi,

after several hints I got in ths forum I was able to retrieve and change contact entries.
But how can I add a contact using javascript in a JS-File ?

I started this very naiv try:

@ var contact = {
name : {
lastName: "Pusel",
firstName: "Peter"
}
};

    myContactModel.saveContact(contact);

@

This doesn't produces an error but it does not work either.

Any hints ?

ContactModel.saveContact() takes in a qml Contact element. So, passing a standard JS var is not enough.

Try:
@
var component = Qt.createComponent("Contact"); // or, use Qt.createQmlObject()
var contact;

if (component.status == Component.Ready) {
contact = component.createObject(parent);
}

Hi,

thanks for your reply. This was the right hint!
I needed some further investigation to make it work but now it works as expected.

Just for other who may have the same problems this code solved my problem:
@ var contact = Qt.createQmlObject("import QtMobility.contacts 1.1; Contact {id: myContact; Name { firstName:'John'; lastName:'Gates' } }",parent);
this.localContacts.saveContact(contact);@
